ASHTON, Idaho (KIFI) - The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) is conducting a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) process to look at ways to improve the US-20 corridor between Ashton and the Idaho State Highway 87 Junction.
Increasing traffic is causing congestion and crashes. Improvements are needed to maintain a safe roadway and reliable connection to adjacent communities, Yellowstone National Park, and the region.
